A video of Oecobius spiders (of the family Oecobiidae) capturing insects, which was filmed in 2009.

These are known as wall spiders. They run around in circles to trap insects in silk. These spiders are quite common here and I often see them running around ants and other small insects. The spiders are able to catch insects quite a bit larger than themselves.
